Adjusting the cutting depth with the step stop (Fig.
11)
The step stop (4) can be used in several steps with less
chip take-off for larger cutting depths.
• Set the desired cutting depth with step 0 of the step
stop (6) as described before.
• Set the higher levels for the first machining steps.
• Test the setting with a practical experiment on a
waste piece.
Cutting direction (Fig. 13)
The cutter turns clockwise. Cutting must always be car-
ried out against the direction of rotation (counter-rota-
tion) to avoid accidents.
Attention! When cutting with the direction of rota-
tion (synchronisation), the tool can be torn out of
your hand.
Feed
It is very important to machine the workpiece with the
correct feed rate. We recommend that you carry out a
few test cutting operations with a waste piece of the
same type before machining the actual workpiece. This
makes it very easy to find out the best working speed.
Feed too low:
• The cutter could become very hot. When machining
combustible material, the workpiece could ignite.
Feed too fast:
• The cutter could be damaged and the cutting quality
is rough and uneven.
Freehand cutting
Freehand cutting allows you to do creative milling work,
such as creating lettering.
• Only use a very flat cutting setting for this!
• When machining the workpiece, observe the direc-
tion of rotation of the cutters.
Cutting with the parallel stop (Fig. 14)
To cut along a straight outer edge of the workpiece,
proceed as follows:
• Insert the parallel stop (14) into the holes of the base
plate (3) according to the required dimension and
tighten the wing screws (2).
• Guide the parallel stop (14) along the outer edge of
the workpiece.
Setting the parallel stop (Fig. 15)
Change the width of the sliding blocks (26):
• Loosen the screws (25) of the sliding blocks (26) and
move them as desired.
• Retighten the screws (25)
Fine adjustment of the parallel stop (14):
• Loosen the wing screw for fixing (24).
• Set the desired distance by turning the knob (22).
• The distance can be read on the scale. To set values
of less than 1 mm, use the freely rotatable scale ring
(23).
• Retighten the wing screw (24) for fixing.
Cutting with the circular compass (Fig. 16)
• Insert the parallel stop (14) turned by 180° and ac-
cording to the required dimension into the holes of
the base plate (3) and tighten the wing screws (2).
• Insert the centring pin (16) into the parallel stop (14)
and screw it tight using the wing nut.
• Use the elongated hole of the open-end spanner
(18) for countering.
Form and edge cutting (Fig. 17)
• For form (a) - and edge cutting (b), special cutters
with a thrust ring can also be used.
• Fit the cutter as described above.
• Carefully bring the router up to the workpiece.
• Guide the guide pin or ball bearing (c) along the
workpiece with light pressure.
Working with the copying sleeve (Fig. 5)
With the use of a copying sleeve (15) templates can be
transferred to the workpiece.
Attention!
The template must be at least as high as the barrel ring
of the copying sleeve (15).
• Place the router with the copying sleeve (15) against
the template.
• Set the cutting depth as described before.
• Guide the device along the template with the copy-
ing sleeve (15) protruding. Work only with light pres-
sure.
11. Electrical connection
The electrical motor installed is connected and ready
for operation. The connection complies with the appli-
cable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as the ex-
tension cable used must also comply with these reg-
ulations.
